​ Alexander Skutch wrote extensively about natural history, concentrating in ornithology, as well as philosophical reflections. Here we make available his vast bibliography. The Tropical Science Center (TSC), heir to Dr Skutch's estate, is committed to divulging his writings, those published as well as his unpublished manuscripts, in order to maintain his ideas ever present and to stimulate research about this great thinker.

With few exceptions, all the published writings were found in Dr Skutch's home “Los Cusingos”; the unpublished manuscripts are housed in the library of the TSC. Others, especially his ornithological writings, are already available in other sites; in these cases, the link to these sites is indicated. Distribution of the PDFs is permitted only for non-commercial purposes. For any other use, please contact the TSC. This site is under construction. The writings of Dr Skutch, especially his manuscripts, are voluminous and are being catalogued and archived. As they are organized and scanned, we will upload them to the site in PDF format. ​​

Dr Skutch was among the first members of the TSC founded in 1962. His farm in El Quizarrá, Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica, which he obtained in 1941, today is a bird sanctuary owned by the TSC. In 1993, Dr Skutch was a founding member of the AOCR, and today is recognized as Honorary President In Memorium.Site administered by Roy H. May (AOCR) and Janet Woodward (AOCR)
